Michael Tsai - Blog - Chromium Browsers Preferencing *.google.com Domains:

It’s easier to jump Chromium ship on Mac - there’s Safari. But on Windows? I don’t want to think about getting to Firefox because they have started making bad decisions and I think this trend will (unfortunately) continue.

I’m fortunate enough to have the means and skills to provide services for people, for free, such as a Mastodon or FreshRSS instance. Currently, I’m considering launching another completely free service. I’m gravitating towards either Pixelfed or Writefreely. Pixelfed would be more labor-intensive but would likely attract more users. Writefreely, on the other hand, would be much easier and cheaper (not only in terms of labor), but I’m unsure how many people are interested in having a blog.

New hat who dis

At this point it feels weird to not start a Saturday this way.

Telegram going more and more crypto route makes me anxious about its future. Also signal is better and I know that one day this will be my default.

I have to connect this blog with DayOne. I’d like to have my posts backed up there.

Being off Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter sometimes makes me feel like I’m missing out on something, like being there would make me happier or more connected. But then I realize that I’m not feeling unhappy or disconnected. Even more, I feel much, much better after getting rid of things that made me glued to my phone. It just feels too good to use them; they can’t be beneficial to my mental health if they feel so dopamine-inducing.

It’s Friday, so of course I’d love to stay up for an insane amount of time just to read ALL of the internet.

TIL: If I want to maintain my macronutrients ratio, normal pasta with tomatoes is off the table. 😅

Never argue on the internet. No one will remember whether you won or lost the argument; they’ll just remember that you are the sort of person who argues on the internet.Source: wisdom/wisdom.md at master · merlinmann/wisdom

I come back to this list often.

🍿 Challengers (2024) - ★★★★☆

If I ever have to ditch Arc, I’ll move to Brave because it’s the only browser that works exactly as I expect. Chrome isn’t it, Firefox doesn’t always work (and the iOS app is really bad), and Vivaldi is just too much to make it like Brave or Chrome. This is where I’m at. Also, I’m using Chrome exclusively for work stuff, and there are literally no issues (apart from it sending all my data to Google instead of keeping it private).

Homescreen, 07/2024.

The only thing that is really missing from CMF Phone 1 is NFC. Other than that - I could manage. This price is unbeatable.

Just make it available and I’m gonna get one. For science, of course.

Hey Apple Computers please update iPad mini cause I want it, thanks.

Because of how time and plans work I might be able to do something with that social.ovh domain in about two weeks but I already can’t wait!

social.ovh was free so I bought it

Thinking about spinning up another Mastodon instance (just cause I like it!) and bought a great domain for it - atweb.blog. I mean - it definitely FEELS cool.

If you’re a media outlet and you’re not hosting your own social media instance (whatever it could be - Mastodon, Pixelfed, anything that federates) you’re doing it wrong. I personally refuse to use content services hosted by 3rd party (or for free) because I don’t want them to mess with my content. Even though most of my content is me whining about internets.

I would use Google Gemini Pro more if they had a proper iOS app.

The design of our next apartment isn’t about being meticulously planned, but I can share a playlist with you that will perfectly capture the atmosphere we want. Each song will embody the exact vibe of our future home.

People who drink Caffeine-Free, Diet Coke: Why? What are you getting out of it at that point?

I just like the taste and it’s not making me unable to sleep at night. Also cola with sugar tastes bad.

Turned off the percentage thingy and I’ve never been happier

I have some BTC that I wanted to transfer from one wallet to another… show me the person who said this is the future of money that takes 5 HOURS to transfer between accounts.
